An open letter to Ed Mullins, president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association in NYC

Dear Ed,

Go screw yourself. We've all heard enough whining from Mike Bloomberg on the Community Safety Act to last us a lifetime. Word is the Mayor might even be dangling good paying jobs to get councilmen  to switch their votes. But you, all you need is a .15¢ ball point pen to sound like an utter and complete whiner. The pens, which read “Community Safety Act — Presuming cops guilty since 2013,” will be handed out around town to somehow help teach citizens that police need zero oversight. What an effective and completely childish act Ed. A pen? A pen whining about city policy? Just what is your problem with oversight Ed? Oh, that's right, presumption of guilt. That's SO FUNNY you'd snivel about assumed guilt because Eddie baby, here's what YOU said about presuming people guilty in May 2013:

“If you’re not a terrorist, if you’re not a threat, prove it,” he says.

Ed, you shit for brains, what's the difference? One is police and the other is everyone else? More and more your police are the problem. Stop and frisks go down and so does your crime rate. Facts are facts bubby. Do you realize what an utter crybaby you sound like?

Take your pens, go get your money back on them, and grow up you duplicitous tool and go read the constitution all the way through which you obviously missed in school.

Best,
The Jersey City Desk Staff

Let the root beer and Sprite flow freely again in the streets of New York City!

New York City's long nightmare of not being able to get enough cola-in-a-cup is over. A New York appeals court has upheld a ruling striking down New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's latest nanny-gram. You fat kids, this is like your Independence Day. You can go suck down an 80 ounce Diet Coke (the irony, it burns) to help keep that weight down. Everyone who attacked the ban is hereby ordered to their local 7-11 and get your brain-freeze on with a 75 ounce frozen Mr. Pibb in celebration.

You, citizen, walk right into your local participating bodega in New York City and proclaim "I live in NYC and I want the full Cornholio!"

Because AMERICA!

You know the rooster seen on the front of every box of Corn Flakes since 1958? He has a name. It's true. His name is Cornelius.

Johnny was NOT the guy who bought the $19 million lottery ticket in Kearny

So on we go here.

19 million bones, that's a pretty nice haul. Dollar Subs on Elm St. where the winning ticket was sold the said the winner has not come forward yet. Clerk Lisa Baez was picking her brain to see if she could remember who bought the ticket. She also had an idea about how to spend the loot:

"You can't be greedy in this world," said Baez, who added that she would give some of the money to the homeless and needy. "(If I won) It would be a blessing and I would have to give some of it away."

We like where her head is at with the sharing. So readers, what might you do with $19 million of Uncle Sam's best green pocket liner?

A rainy Sunday night in Cool City is a great excuse to tune into 48:FM in Liege Belgium, us La Radio des Estudients Liegeois, and music til dawn on this internet radio outpost.

Did Channel 2 hire a vampire?

We kid we kid. We kid because we love.

Johnny is a victim of popular culture as much as the next fella and thus knows a vampire now when he sees one. 77% of all programming on the teevee and in movies has vampires so Johnny's Sherlock Holmes' style deductions aren't hard to come by. So, did channel 2 hire a vampire or not?

Happy Sunday!

Can anyone identify this flower? It's amazing looking. Johnny saw it, where else, walking the wolf. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Today screams for a news roundup

Actually it does. Lots of little stories that add up to BIG infotainment over coffee and bagels.

* Some flash in the pan named Bob Dylan performed at Pier A last night in the Big FuHo. Hoboken FD said that twelve people got their 99 Woodstock on and were treated for too much something or other. The fun part in this was watching Dylan's hosts mock him outright by doing their best impersonations.

* While we're in Hoboken this morning a retrospective: Maxwell's -- The Microbrew Years Killed the Place.

* Liberty Humane Society is fixing things up after a $15,000 grant from the Canyon Creek Ranch Better Way Project, a national campaign that assists pet organizations like as Liberty Humane Society. The money will help repair Superstorm Sandy damage and they're also getting more than 8,000 pounds of Canyon Creek Ranch dog and cat food.

* Healy allies are angry because new mayor Steve Fulop (who WON the election) used his clout in getting Dana Scott Eisenberg, a Regent Street man who volunteered on Mayor Steve Fulop's campaign, elected chair of the Jersey City Parking Authority Board of Commissioners. News Bulletin to the butthurt Healy folks. Elections have consequences. Now be gone with you.

* Dweedledumb and Dweedledumber robbed a bank in Fairview with a BB gun and a knife, left a trail of cash as they ran into North Bergen after which one carjacked someone and couldn't get the car in gear so naturally drove directly into a building, like ya do.

* Oh, by the way, The Port Authority pissed away $60 million of your tax dollars by insisting on paying higher insurance premiums than anyone would ever pay.
